Dolly Parton reveals most 'personal' song she's ever written in her musical career

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dolly Parton has shared one of the closest songs to her heart she’s ever written in her career.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, the legendary singer-songwriter revealed the special song and opened up about the reason behind it.

"Well, I’m proud of all of them. I think the one that’s most personal to me is the lil’ 'Coat of Many Colors', because it talks about my mom, my parents, and kind of gives you an insight. It also covers bullying, acceptance and all that," she explained.

Dolly Parton talks about her hit song 'Jolene'

Dolly Parton continued, "Of course, the one that’s most recorded is 'Jolene'. That seems to be the favorite."

"Do you know that song has been recorded, somebody told me, 450 times in the last 52 years? I’m so proud of it. And 'I Will Always Love You' is one is the great love songs, so I’m very proud of that too," the legendary artist added.

Parton’s ‘Coat of Many Colors’ came out in September 1971 and she has earlier talked about the financial struggle her family went through while talking about the famous track earlier.

The legendary singer also cleared the rumors about writing two popular songs ‘Jolene', and ‘I Will Always Love You’ in a single day, reported People.

"I don’t know if I wrote them on the same day, but they were found on the same cassette, and so I wrote them during that period of time," she clarified.

Dolly Parton explains why she won't retire

Dolly Parton also talked about why she has no plans to retire, saying, "I always say I’ve dreamed myself into a corner. I’ve got to keep all those dreams alive. Every dream spins off into some something else," she said.

"It’s misinformation when I said I was not touring any more. I still do shows. I just don’t go on the full-blown tours where I go overseas for weeks. I’m older, my husband’s older, and I want to be with him more. So, no. I couldn’t retire if I wanted to. And I don’t want to," the 'Here You Come Again' said shared.
